Teen killed while walking home
Hundreds of Logan high school students are mourning the death of a popular classmate who was killed while walking home at Eagleby, on Wednesday afternoon.
Sebastien Dodin was walking home from school with friends when he was hit by a truck.
The 15-year-old was standing at the intersection of Fryar Road and Logan Street at Eagleby when the accident happened around 3:15pm yesterday.
Only hours earlier, Sebastien and his year 10 class listened to a lecture on road safety.
"It is an issue, but kids are kids and it's a risk area," said Principal Matthew O'Hanlon.
"This is just a tragedy for a young fellow who really did have a lot going for him.
"He was popular as you can see by the outpouring of grief here today."
Students are being offered counselling and will hold a special memorial service next week to remember their talented friend, who hoped one day to serve his country.
The air cadet described by his family as cheeky and loving was keen to join the Army.
